mactan, to linux in Windows NT Sync Driver Proposed For The Linux Kernel - Better Wine Performance

is this what used to be called winesync?

mactan, to linux in Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

I got a free key from a friend and insync has always worked well for me

mactan, to linux in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

my lug tries to help people trying to run lutris on old LTS versions and for one example we ended up having to tell them to use some .deb for lutris since ubuntu shipped a broken lutris version for a year or whatever users should always be able to depend on their package manager alone instead of side loading content. even had instances of their version of wget or curl being incompatible with winetricks and gitlab and githubs apis

please please please avoid an LTS (long term support) distro for desktop use, especially if gaming. this includes Linux mint which is based on Ubuntu LTS. the packages are painfully old and cause problems playing the latest games, particularly where they don’t work out of the box with lutris/proton/wine etc. LTS is great for servers and workstations but not end users

experienced users can make any distro work including LTS but it’s extra overhead for new folks

mactan, to linux in Just found about the BORE scheduler from solus. Anyone know if it actually improves responsiveness for desktop use? If so why is it not used more?

there was some interest in my lug with the different schedulers but attempts at benchmarking all fell within margin of error from our lay attempts at measuring

mactan, to linux in Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: a guide to using Nix flakes the non-flake way

nix is like the i3 of package managers. does it work sure but you’ll spend your 80% of your time learning code and configuration to make your sick packaging rice /sarcasm

mactan, to linux in Is DNS Bloat too?

I have no doubt in my mind that there’s some subset of the suckless crowd that thinks dns is bloat

mactan, to linux in The Wine development release 9.0-rc3 is now available.

exciting to see a little bit more wine Wayland in each of these so far

mactan, to linux in How do I change desktop environments on linux mint?

as a root user you can move files around no problem, I’m sure there’s desktop environment hopping articles to refer to, deleting is pretty straightforward too. for my case when I added i3 and hyprland I just tried flipping between the different desktops on a new user to see if anything broke before doing it on my main account, just something I have a habit of doing after some old mishaps

mactan, to linux in How do I change desktop environments on linux mint?

if you’re trying out one or more than one DE I suggest making a new user for it, I’ve accidently messed up my dotfiles more times while DE hopping than I’d like to recall

mactan, to linux in Debian Likely Moving Away From i386 In The Near Future

32bit*

mactan, to linux in What is wayland?

not flawless but barely noticeable that it’s there. only time I’ve ever had issues was with cursor warping in one game

mactan, to linux in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

wine Wayland driver
